Strange. It appears that LSU was the only program that was able to get production from him. He went to UGA, briefly transferred to UF and now Nebraska. His FR season at LSU was actually pretty decent.

This guy had the talent to play on Sundays. It's a shame. It doesn't seem like it matters where he went, he couldn't get it together. I honestly hoped he would play at Nebraska, but it doesn't look like there is a chance for that now.

I hope if Netflix ever does a documentary on LSU or Georgia they spend most of the time on this criminal!

That visit to Tiger Stadium in November 2013 sure left Johnny football scarred for life.

What’s to spend time on? He came, did well but had some issues and left.

But enjoy watching Netflix docs this fall instead of watching the gators get humiliated again and again.

The thing about Nebraska is that it is the one place where it is possible to rob a place... get caught... and still win a Heisman trophy.

So there is still hope for Arik I would think.

He may VERY WELL go down as the biggest waste of resources EVER. Three very good schools spent a fortune on him.

Well Netflix ignored Cam Newton stealing a laptop, Percy Harvin assaulting his coach and Aaron Hernandez shooting people so I doubt they will be interested in talking about a former LSU/UGA player stealing gummies and cigars while a member of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

I know it didn't work out, but the dude was one of the best high school players I've ever seen live. He laid out for a badly thrown bomb against Hillgrove and made a finger-tip catch just as he was hitting the ground that many NFL receivers would have never made.

In the same game, he was successful blocking Hillgrove's Myles Murphy on every play he was lined up against him. Additionally, he outplayed and was a more dominant force on defense than teammate BJ Ojulari.

With all of the talent on the field that day, there was no doubt who the alpha was.

Again, I know his mental health cost him and apparently there are moral issues but the accolades he received in high school and the resulting recruiting rankings were earned. Even his freshman year at LSU, he showed great promise.
